About Vivian C. Rodriguez

 

I have practiced law in Florida for almost 23 years. From the beginning my practice always included family law.  I have chosen to dedicate my practice solely to solving problems of divorce and paternity because I find it to be the area of law in which I can provide the most meaningful service to solve problems that impact lives on a daily basis.

I’ve had the opportunity to help families navigate the Court system given their particular circumstances in a divorce or paternity, including custody and visitation, and domestic violence.  Once a person makes the decision to get a divorce, or determines the need to establish paternity, the legal process necessary to solve these problems can become complex very quickly.  Competent legal assistant can make the difference between safeguarding a right or unknowingly waiving it forever.

When you retain me as your divorce or paternity lawyer, my job is to zealously represent you. While I am aggressive in litigating any matter, I am also mindful that a settlement may present a better option in achieving the best interests of the client. I will give you a balanced assessment of your case throughout the representation so you can make informed decisions that you deem to be in your best interest.  Once you determine what you want to do, my job is to get it for you within the bounds of the law and professional rules; I will litigate the case always keeping an eye out for better or more sensible approaches to getting you what you want.

As part of my services, I will provide advice on alternatives to litigation, like mediation and collaborative law, which are making inroads into our culture as excellent tools for solving disputes.  For the family in particular these two tools can be a good thing, especially when there are children involved.  I am excited about these developments and think they have a lot of potential to  do good in both safeguarding a person’s legal rights in the family law arena as well as having a better chance to preserve family and filial relationships.

As a lawyer practicing in Miami, the cultural diversity in the City has afforded me the opportunity to meet people from many cultures, learn about them and how to best help them in solving their family legal disputes.

I hope you will find this site useful in finding information on family legal issues, whether you are headed to court or want to use any of the other avenues available to resolve disputes.

I will be adding more links that I think may be helpful in providing general information.  Always remember that this information is provided as a starting point in your search for information, and is not meant as legal advice.  None of this information will create an attorney-client relationship between me and you, the visitor to this site,
